Sorry for late comment but just wanted to point out CRNA can and I know a few .Who own their practice and have the hospital contract then they can make more.
There is a huge gluttony in the market right now due to more CRNA schools. I have recently been asked to take a 25% cut in my salary because the market is driving down salaries and they will have no problem getting someone to replace me. However the...
All I'm trying to say is there are too many schools and you can see the affect, jobs on one main site, gasworks down 4000 jobs since about 2 years ago.

AS I have stated earlier ,I personally was test with a student MDA and we both missed same questions . When it comes to providing anesthesia both know about the same from my point of view . But it sure is a political storm out there, bad apples to b...

It's just our hospital's by laws it says surgeon is to make sure we our competent to do our work that goes for MDA and CRNA, I agree we have the patient life in our hands. If I worded it to say something different ,sorry for the confusion.

I'm a CRNA and love my job! Most days lol. The surgeon in OR looks over both MDA and CRNA during surgery but doesn't tell us what to do. As far as schooling I was tested with an MDA resident during my schooling and the director of the MDA was surp...
Nope were tired of you pushing false hoods aa's no threat. We need to tell public the truth behind the doors of hospitals,specialty hmm,nurses did it before and we can do it again we are trying to perserve our rights that are always under attack fro...
Maybe ,I didn't make it clear enough you look up laws were states I work the surgeon has to make sure the provider, MDA or Crna is capable to do their work plain and simple thats all. Didn't mean supervision as in tell ya what to do, so plain englis...
Were are these rules mda's are required to over see crna? It's the darn dr who are pushing these these made up political rules but by law we dont need them and they dont like it period.
I'll say it yes to many schools and students just look at job websites jobs are down 75% from couple years ago. Salary's are down all around me and job sites, hospitals know this too . I know some Rn's making in low 100k true travel nurse still good ...
Interesting because Ive worked with quite a few MD"s not certified and or haven't passed the exam but they can still practice and lead CRNA"s at alot of hospital's. They do go get CME,I'm told they can practice because of their 4 year MD degree. I ha...
Places you live will effect how much is spent and schools range from $20,000 to over $50,000 travel to clinical, books, if you have a family it all adds up. With me my nurse degree plus bsn,and master it for me added up to close to some of these numb...
Different schools charge from around $20,000 to over $50,000 plus books, travel to and from clinicals, living, ext . With me it was that plus my rn, bsn, I'll together reached very close to some of the high numbers. Payments well I had to find a job ...
I agree with the others that you should shadow a CRNA and see if you think it is something that you would like. I know a couple of people that thought they wanted to be a CRNA and after shadowing decided that it wasn't what they wanted. Then if you...
As far as control of your time it simply depends on where you practice. I am a CRNA and I practice with a group where we work normal days (some go longer) and then we take call at night and on weekends. I work with CRNA's and MD's and we all share ...
